These requests were made in a petition filed by Imran Peerzada.
Peerzada named NTS chairperson, provincial health secretary and vice-chancellors of all the medical colleges and universities in the province as respondents.
The petitioner said the NTS had conducted entry tests for admission to the medical colleges and universities in the province and around 7,200 candidates had appeared in the examinations. He said one question paper had been leaked which made the entire results doubtful. This amounted to cheating the students, who were qualified and deserved admissions to the varsities on the basis of merit, he added.

A request was also made to order an inquiry into the matter and order strict action under the law against those found involved in the scandal.
